finding Sabbath








t


Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love,

that we may sing for joy

and be glad all our days.

Psalm 90:14

~ ~ ~

The morning is my favorite time of day.

I ordinarily arise before dawn to put the kettle on

putting some dishes away in the cupboard 

or folding an errant napkin while I wait for the trill signal of it's whistle.

Fragrant steam rises from the teapot as I pour

and I like the way the water sounds

Everything else quiet in the pre-dawn twilight.


Yesterday I bought a new mug because the handle of my old one broke.

The design reminds me of the waves on the sea outside  my window.

    Early mornings are my favorite time of day as well. May you enjoy the stillness, the tea, and His Word this morning! Blessings!

    Love the new mug!

    It's early here, still dark. I am listening to the coffee maker.

    I'm not a morning person, but my favorite thing to do on Sunday mornings is to read through some Scripture before getting ready for church. Thanks for sharing.

    Coffee people here (although I love a good cup of tea at other times of day). We have our own secret "house" blend - 3 different coffees blended together in one canister. I love waking up to the smell of it brewing and then sitting down with a cup and my Bible.

    Love the picture your words bring to mind. The quiet, the tea. I would say I'm a morning person too. Even though there are days that I'd love to just stay in bed anymore...Mr. Furbaby prefers to be up before dawn. His schedule varies but it is always early. I've been in the habit since retired of early morning Bible reading to start my day and a cup of coffee. I'm with you, the early morning; especially in the Springtime are my favorite. There is just something about mugs that attract. I like the colorfulness of the blue on yours. :)

    Your mornings sound a lot like mine, putting the dishes away while I wait for the water to boil to make my coffee. The mornings are my favorite time of day. Enjoy your new mug.

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
